The games that people can run blindfolded are also completely predictable abuses of the system. They generally just don't last 90 minutes.

They're also runs of better games.

The only Shining Force games that I know and played are NEO and EXA. I’m honestly not sure anyone else knows these games exist cause I haven’t seen any let’s plays of them.

You should pick up a genesis instead of kinda bad games

what happened to all the discussions from the previous GDQ threads where people were mad at glitch abuse because they wanted "pure execution and skill"

I like glitches so long as they aren't stuff like "I have to tediously walk on this one pixel wide OOB path to save 10 seconds"

I just realized I meant to also say that some people goddamn love RPG runs, and more power to them. It is cool that there are people willing to put in the amount of work to run this poo poo, I'd lose my mind. Take this run, and remember he had TWO routes ready to go based on the donation incentive.

One time I got Buffalo Chicken Sliders and the Arby's person straight-up told me they hate making them and hate that people order them and I didn't really know how to take that other than I guess I can't ever order those anymore.

Shining Force NEO is actually really good as a not-Shining Force because it's basically something inbetween Ys and Xanadu Next. Lots of dungeon crawling with really fast combat. Super addicting gameplay loop. Just not a Shining Force game proper.

I still have to get EXA but maybe someday they'll wind up on PS2-on-PS4 if Sony ever remembers that they were doing that

Kaubocks posted:

just like most other speedruns provided people don't make mistakes?

I dunno, watching someone pull off an insane jump in a 3D Mario where timing and positioning is super variable and precise than moving units in a turn-based RPG where character movement is dictated by a grid. Especially when it's like this an it's super RNG manipulated. This is more of a display of rote memorization than player skill.

I mean, can he even lose at all?
